Yoy be one big rascal to drink such poor stuff, 'j 1 fine you five dollars.' Rum was next fellow's weakness and life was fined two dollars, rum being a more'respectable tipp|e in the estimation of the justice. ,'And what made you drunk* my friend?' said fie to the third culprit. 'Punch.' 'Go'long mid you I fines you just nothing at all. Why, Igets drunk,w|th purith myself sometimes.*

ELEPHANT'S' FRATERNAL FEELING AHD AFFECTION-

phants was pikssSD^, ot|x office reoently, the followingyv&ielld, wKrcV#e vouqh Iqjji as trte: *.

Jja8t «eas^| a^ttjeita^Bil6 tfie village of Johcfetown, -Metkimer county. When the ca^alc$de*lefi town, it passed over thetridg6 which the road crossed, leaving tvroelephants to^riflg

Tl^walfer of the creek, which flo^fs through a*gorge in the slate formation, presenting-at $»ai ppint banks of a precipitous qharactei and thirty feet, in height, &as low, and by takingfa course acrossaeorn field, a ford could be reached." But the proprietor of the corn field refused to permit it to b% used, except

payment of an exorbitant sum,

Hog®! Proboscai fiiigers, but each time would recoil from making the dangerous*ex-

periment. h~ At laist, "however, goaded by the sharp iron instrument of the keeper, and accustomed to obedience, they rushed on witha scream,* half of ag^-ny, half anger The result showed the prur dent prescience of the poor animals to have been correct. The bridge broke, and went crashing t6 the bottom of the gorge, carrying with it both the monsft^ous beasts. One of Uiem struck upon its tfask and shoulder, breaking tne former and very badly injuring the latter the other was, strangely enough, unhurt. Now was shown the most singular and remarkable conduct on the part of the brute which had escaped.

Its comrade lay there, au [extempore bed being provided foHts comfort, while no temptation, no stratagem wassufficient to induce the otheT to leave, and proceed with the main portion of the caravan, which finally went on, leaving the wounded beast and its companion under the charge of their keeper. •j

Day after day, the suffering creature lay there, rapidly failing.^nd unable to move. At the end of three weeks the water in the creek commenced risinjfv and there was danger of its overflowing and drowning the helpless elephant. The keeper d&sired, therefore, to make it get up and walk as far asa barn near bv, where it would be out of dan go and could be better cared for. But it would not stir. He coaxed, wheedled, and scolded, but all to no purpose.

At last, enraged, he seized a pitchfork, and was about plunging it into the jgoor beast,s flesh, when the companion wrenche^he fork from his hand, broke it in fragments* and flung the* pieces away then, with its eyes glaring and every evidence of rage in its "manner, it stood over its defenceless and wounded friend as if daring the keeper approach which the man was not so green as to do ag^in, with cruel pur(pose.

Thus .the injured animal lay there, until it died. When satisfied that it could no longer be of service, the other quietly followed the keeper away from the spot, and showed no desire to return. If that was not reasoning mingled with affection, wo would like to mcall it. ..
